Functionality

When scanning inbound items, the system checks two things:

By default, units are consolidated on the same order based on matching destinations.
Note

To match against a destination, the scanned value must match the name of an address record in D365.
Your creation strategy can further consolidate by destination per day or per destination activity (e.g., a logistics order is created when units are scanned on a different day or for a different inbound activity).
1. Example 1: You unload units for a trailer (i.e., inbound activity). Immediately after, you begin unloading units for a different trailer and want to consolidate those units to a different order.
2. Example 2: You unload units today and do not want to consolidate those with units unloaded on previous days.

Do you have Position Assignment set up?
1. If so, you can use Dock Management to scan items and put them into specified positions.
